Threads and Thread Safety
Perl versions 5.004_50 and later include optional experimental support for multiple threads on many platforms. If the DBI is built using a Perl that has threads enabled, then it will use a per-driver mutex to ensure that only one thread is with a driver at any one time. Please note that support for threads in Perl is still experimental and is known to have some significant problems. Its use is not recommended.
